Abstract
Various example embodiments are disclosed. According to one example embodiment, a small form factor pluggable (SFP or SFP+) module may include an equalizer and a logic controller. The equalizer may be configured to receive data, provide signal information to a logic controller based on the received data, equalize the data based on equalization instructions received from the logic controller, and transmit the equalized data. The logic controller may be configured to transmit the signal information received from the equalizer receive programming instructions provide the equalization instructions to the equalizer based on the programming instructions, receive control inputs associated with the data, and provide status outputs based on the control inputs and the programming instructions. The SFP or SFP+ module may be configured to plug into a small form factor (SFF) host connector.
